Hi
I just bought a great Le Creuset cast iron dutch oven. I bought it to make St. Paddy's corned beef! Now I want to make some more great things...so, HUNTER (and the rest of you), can you share some recipes that I can make in it? Thanks y'all!

Everyone knows Le Creuset is best when used for vegetarian dishes.

Like Osso Bucco! Panda shanks are delicious with Barolo, fwiw....

Panda shanks will so land you in jail, Mr. Meat.

Wouldn't be the first time fuzzy one....

I've got my eye on that "Tangine" they make.

Nothing beats 'Le Creuset'. I like to make Osso Bucco just like my buddy PH. They are a little pricey but if you take care of it it will last a lifetime.

Lamb shanks, coq au vin, bouillabaisse, mussels, veal blanquette, etc, etc....
Way too many to list

Don't they make 2 different types? One is stoneware, no? Or is that the cast iron one? Then they make a thinner, metal one too... no?

The classic Le Cruset line is enamel over cast iron. The advantage (for me at least) is to able to go from the stove top into the oven and back. Great for preparing fish and such. The Dutch Oven and the Au Gratin pan are sort of the classic items from the line.

I make risotto in mine once a week. Greatest cookware around.....
